Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Chapter 165 The Fall of the First Shadow

Chapter 165 The Fall of the First Shadow (Bonus Chapter)

A transparent vortex spread from Yubi's palm and quickly transformed into a hemispherical spatial barrier, instantly enveloping the three of them.

The area covered by the spatial barrier is not large, only about ten zhang in radius.

The Raikage and Aina, their figures radiating terrifying killing intent, had already reached Yubi.

It felt like his body would be torn to shreds in the blink of an eye.

Whoosh.

But without warning, their target vanished, replaced by a floating pebble.

Raikage and Ai froze.

The next second, the Third Raikage reacted with overclocking, turning around in an instant and bringing his sword down.

The sharp hand chop was wrapped in a thick layer of lightning-attribute chakra.

It struck hard at a figure that had suddenly appeared behind him.

It's Yubi!

"Space-Time Ninjutsu!"

Seeing this, Ai felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Impressive—to be able to launch a counterattack within such a tight reaction time!"

Yubi's heart skipped a beat.

The Third Raikage's hand blade, as sharp as a hair-splitting blade, instantly tore open Yubi's shoulder.

The wound ran all the way down to his abdomen.

Yubi—also struck first, a beat before the Raikage.

He then slashed with a long, blood-stained blade.

The Third Raikage's body was split in two at the waist, breaking into two pieces.

Even the Raikage's incredibly powerful Lightning Release Armor seemed unable to withstand the slash from Yubi's Blood Blade.

Blood splattered—

Blood was flowing from Yubi's wounds.

Although the Raikage was cut in half at the waist, strangely, there was not a drop of blood in his wound.

However, the organs inside his two sections of body can be clearly seen.

It was as if what was severed was not his body, but the mirrored space that contained his body.

The Raikage himself was not disturbed in any way.

His Lightning Release Chakra Mode is still functioning; it's just that his physical body has separated.

This was a situation that neither the Raikage nor A had ever seen before.

But their instincts told them—something's happened!

When the Third Raikage's internal space, or internal organs, were exposed, Yubi's blood immediately broke through the chakra armor on his body and rushed into his body.

Then, he was sent flying by the immense force of the Raikage's hand chop.

Pfft!

The Third Raikage's upper body fell to the ground.

Despite being severed in two, he was still alive, with his consciousness, bodily functions, and chakra unaffected.

However, the large amount of toxic blood entering the body immediately caused the organs to suffer from the frenzied erosion of the blood.

The waning of his own life force and the discontinuation of his Lightning Release Chakra Mode made him instantly realize that death was imminent. "Run!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Raikage said to Ai in a deep voice.

At this moment, Ai was clearly stunned.

Faced with this sudden and unexpected situation, his brain was unable to process or process it.

"escape!"

It wasn't until Raikage's loud shout that Ai, whose mind had been blank, was jolted awake.

After glancing at his father, he instantly activated his physical body to its maximum potential and fled into the distance.

Raikage quickly checked his condition, then slammed his palm on the ground, sending a bolt of black lightning hurtling towards the spot where Yubi had fallen.

Although his life force had vanished, the injuries inflicted on him by the peculiar ninjutsu of Blood Healer Yubi were somewhat strange—it seemed that he still had a sliver of strength left to unleash a ninjutsu.

This created an opportunity for Ai to escape.

In the distance, Yubi crashed into a boulder, slid to the ground, and was covered in blood.

The Raikage's chop was equally powerful.

It almost tore half of his body apart.

The wounds on his body were healing rapidly.

But the next second, the black lightning struck him again, shattering the rocks behind him into dust.

Strands of black electricity spread throughout Yubi's body.

It paralyzed his limbs.

Yubi looked up, her face covered in blood, revealing a pair of cold eyes staring at the figure about to escape the Room's territory.

With a flick of his finger, he saw Ai's backpack disappear and reappear beside him in an instant.

A himself seemed unaware that the sealing scroll he had taken from Sunagakure had been returned to its rightful owner.

In the blink of an eye, they sped away and disappeared without a trace.

About ten seconds later, the scattered black lightning completely disappeared.

After a while, Yubi's injuries were fully healed.

He brushed the dust off his clothes and slowly stood up.

He walked step by step to the half of the Third Raikage's body lying on the ground.

At this moment, the Third Raikage was already lifeless—his other lower body remained standing, left to the side.

Yubi stared in the direction Ai had fled, but did not give chase.

Because activating the power of the Op-Op Fruit consumed more chakra than he had anticipated, he needed to use the Reverse Technique to heal his injuries first.

The Third Raikage's desperate counterattack inflicted considerable damage on him, and the use of the Reversal Technique also took a toll on his health.

Without the Senzu Bean to restore chakra, Yubi immediately made a calm assessment: with her remaining chakra, it would be difficult to kill A.

"Unfortunately—the first time I used this ability, the energy consumption was far beyond my expectations—and it could only be maintained for a very short time."

"If this ability weren't so powerful and so expensive—if we could wait a while longer to accumulate enough experience, we could configure other ability effects and further develop them—"

"Today—both of you will stay here—"

Yubi ate in a cold tone.

The Op-Op Fruit he purchased for 7,000 experience points currently only possesses the most basic fruit abilities.

That is, Room slaughterhouse.

Moreover, the extent of the domain's expansion and the duration it can be maintained are closely related to his own chakra after system assimilation.

Because it has a special spatial effect, its demand for chakra is exaggerated.

With his current chakra reserves, he can only cover a space of a few dozen meters.

But it's already abnormal enough.

There's a reason why it's expensive.

Yubi chose this ability because it would ensure that it would cause absolute damage to the Raikage and A.

It can ignore the opponent's defense.

However, to ensure a 100% effective kill, this ability cannot be used from the outset—a "mind trap" must be laid.

Otherwise, what if those two are determined to escape?

Or perhaps he didn't find an opportunity to inflict effective damage immediately, and based on the enemy's combat experience and reaction, he analyzed the characteristics of the ability—which could very likely lead to unforeseen changes.

It's worth noting that even when facing the Flying Thunder God Technique, which is also a space-time ninjutsu, A was able to react, let alone the Third Raikage.

The hasty attack by Raikage just now already revealed some clues.

Without creating blind spots in the opponent's thinking, making them mistakenly believe that your attacks cannot break through their defenses, you are even less likely to win.

He didn't want any changes to happen.

The tricky part is that the abilities of the Op-Op Fruit can't be developed and fused on their own like the Crimson Blood Technique—they can only be acquired by spending experience points to purchase additional configurations later.

Buying fruit is just the beginning.

Pay-to-win is the way to go.

The system's purpose in stimulating you is to encourage you to continue spending.

This seems to be a mandatory additional expense that must be incurred once a product reaches a certain price.

shhhhh--

At this moment, several figures jumped into the canyon one after another.

It was Sunagakure, sent by the village, who arrived late.

The Sand Villagers were all shocked by the scene before them.

Because many of the mountains and rock walls in the valley had clearly been damaged by human activity, the scope and destructiveness of the battle made it impossible for them to imagine what kind of battle had taken place there.

The valley floor was piled high with rubble—and even now, the dust that floats above the canyon with the wind and sand has not completely dissipated.

"Lord Yubi!"

Soon, they spotted a ragged figure and exclaimed in surprise.

As they approached, they saw Yubi covered in blood, and the group felt a chill run down their spines.

"I'm fine."

Yubi breathed a sigh of relief as the weight on her heart was lifted.

She seemed to have returned to her usual cheerful self.

Upon hearing the news, he turned around and smiled slightly at the group of people who had approached him, their faces full of worry.

"That is—"

A Sand Villager noticed the corpse not far away.

The others also looked over.

When they saw the corpse's face clearly, they all stood frozen in place.
